Chapter 356: Beast Tide's Alarm

The base camp is five kilometers away. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

No matter how many times the brown-clothed boy looked at it, he could only be amazed by the solid wall of fog not far ahead. The fog blocked all view to the south, allowing him to see only a hundred meters in front of him. Half a day ago, this dense fog was still more than a dozen kilometers away from the camp, and now, it has reached a range that is enough to threaten the camp. From this distance, a Chocobo dragon species that is longer than running can get close to the defensive range of the camp in three to five minutes, and a few hundred hunters want to gather no less than that.

In fact, not far behind the boy, a large number of monsters had gathered, and the number of monsters should be hundreds, covering most of the common species that lived in the swamp in the boy's cognition. Hundreds of monsters were crammed together, and from time to time skirmishes erupted, appearing extremely tense.

The instinctive sense of danger of the wild species caused the monsters to stop outside the defensive range of the camp, five hundred meters from the fog wall. They all burst out of the fog, moving closer to the camp as the wall moved north. The day before yesterday, Lu Shushi came by airship from Golden Feather Castle, and was immediately recruited by the captains to be a special advisor for this challenge festival, and he deduced that there seemed to be some reason in the fog that caused the monsters to be afraid, and their actions on this trip were more like a collective escape, and the base camp happened to be on the route of their escape.

Now the monsters trapped outside the fog are not strong enough to confront the base camp head-on. But the monsters coming from the fog will only increase, and the monster clusters will become larger and larger, and the current herd is like a barrel full of gunpowder, once the amount of gunpowder exceeds a certain threshold, even if there is only a little spark, they will not hesitate to step into the defense range of the base camp and crush the entire camp under their claws and hooves.

"It's probably today." The boy stroked the Blackwater Training Camp badge on his chest with one hand.

His name is Feng Kui, and he is one of the two people in the Blackwater training camp who successfully entered the challenge festival, and it was here that he received a commission to observe the appearance of the next wave of monsters in the mist. This kind of dangerous stalking task should not be handed over to the trainees, because if you want to get close to the fog area, you have to sneak through hundreds of monster communities, and if you are not careful, you will be killed and eaten, and the official hunter is not very sure, let alone a fledgling trainee?

But the boy is called a "ghost talent" and he does have his advantages, and he is still in the outpost, it is he who preemptively warned the second wave of monsters attacking the camp before he returned from an exploration mission, which gave the entire camp time to retreat calmly. After returning to the base camp, the team leader generously guaranteed his competition points and recommended him to participate in the commission.

Feng Kui has no hidrosis, the body odor is born not to overflow, but the steps are also very light, his family martial arts is based on latent tracking, the boy has been practicing the technique of concealment and pursuit since he was a child, and he has achieved twice the result with half the effort. Only at the apprenticeship stage, he was already able to approach the monster at a distance of fifty meters without being detected under the regular visitation of the monster. As long as the boy is sneaking away from monsters that are good at locking onto prey through heat sensation or air fluctuations, it is of course easy to get through the herd.

He was accompanied by twenty-two full-fledged hunters, five two-star hunters and one three-star hunter, and he was fortunate enough to be the first to reach the designated place—when he chose his concealed position, the yellow and green signals that marked the arrival had not yet risen over the swamp, and the boy was lying on his stomach among the bushes, and he could not help but be overjoyed.

This was the third hour that it had been lying in the bushes, and seeing that dusk was approaching, the last wave of monsters predicted by Lu Shushi had not appeared for a long time, which made the boy a little anxious. His thoughts couldn't help but drift back to the camp, and it was rumored that Lu Shushi's sudden visit to the scene of the challenge festival was caused by the disappearance of his beloved daughter during the festival. A few days ago, the swamp expulsion had scattered some of the hunters, and a team of apprentices had taken an important escort target, a fifteen-year-old genius scribe, away from the team and into the swamp.

How bold must it be to dare to do such a thing in the most important large commission of the year in the whole North. The trainee hunter, who disobeyed orders and was willful, probably should have retired from the hunter stage after the festival had ended, if he had not died in the treacherous inner marsh.

Thinking of this, he settled down and turned his attention back to the current commission. I am an elite trainee hunter who respects the glory of hunters, and I shouldn't be equated with such a lawless trainee hunter, and now that I am on the way to commission, I should pay full attention. Wind Kui was in high spirits, and his eyes peered through the gaps in the bushes into the wall of fog.

Right in front of his eyes, this wall of fog seemed to have an aura, rippling like water waves, rolling up beautiful lines on the wall.

…………

When four hundred hunters came together for a common commission, the effect was immediate.

Even with the haze of the general leader's departure for no reason, and a large number of monsters eyeing the team, with the spur of the five million, the hunters still showed great enthusiasm. Sitting on the open supply of hunting resources in the base camp, almost in one day, the team turned the originally open and flat 800 meters deep south side of the take-off and landing pad into a dangerous place full of traps and dangers.

"Why don't you build a wall on the south side of the camp? Isn't it very useful, like Camp Seven? Xiong Fuji carried some supplies and returned to Team Leader Zhong, especially panting like a cow.

The tense atmosphere before the war made even Xiong Fuji, who had never been afraid of fighting, feel a little depressed. There was no shelter in front of the camp, and even if he knew that there were already many mechanisms underground, it still made the young man feel a little weak.

"The current situation is not the same as when the outpost is present, and at that time we faced only the Peach Fur Beast of the monster race." The bearded man transferred the boy's commission to him, "The Peach Fur Beast's collision ability is not strong, and the high wall can only block it one or two, but among the enemies this time, there are monsters of all races, and even the Wyvern species are not a few, and the land dragons who are good at collision can easily smash the steel guardrail, so there is no need to do so." ”

"What's more, the protagonists of this defensive battle are actually them." Xiao Yang followed closely and raised the scoreboard towards the tall airship not far away, "The monsters are huge, and they have to use battleships, just to free up their field of sight for shooting, and the camp will definitely reduce the density of ground facilities as much as possible...... No matter how desperately the hunter fights, he probably can't withstand the full force of the battleship. ”

"Don't rely too much on machinery." The team leader reminded, "The power of the battleship does not represent the strength of the hunters, and besides, they do not participate in the challenge sacrifice, and the monsters killed by them will not get points." ”

"But just relying on these big guys, the confidence in my heart will be a lot more sufficient." Xiao Yang said yearningly, raising his head to look at the heroic posture of the airship in the sunset.

At this moment, a red flare rose into the sky from the south. The place where the signal was sent was so close to the camp that it could be seen without the need for a watchtower.

"Hey! Is this an offensive alert? Shentu Miaoling suddenly became nervous.

"It is rumored that there is a trainee involved in the stalking, so it can't be that he mistook the offensive alarm as a contact signal in a panic." Xiao Yang said with a smile.

"The people who can join the scouting commission are hunters who are skilled in this way, even if they are apprentices, how can they make such a simple mistake?" Shentu Miaoling frowned, and before she could explain, the red signal in the other direction also rose.

"Assemble and defend!" Team Leader Zhong roared and stood up.

With an urgent attack alarm, the atmosphere of the entire base camp suddenly became solemn.
